Description

NT555R. The Nitto 305/40-18 NT555R is a D.O.T.-compliant competition drag radial designed with maximum flexibility for the weekend drag racer. The NT555R combines a high grip compound and semi-racing construction to provide maximum traction at the starting line. The tire comes molded at 6/32 of an inch and features a unique reinforced belt package to provide improved traction and high-speed stability. The NT555R is the perfect performance radial for the street or strip.

DOT approved. Can be run on the street, and deliver up to 15,000 miles of tread life in normal street driving. However, this soft and flexible tread will wear much quicker than tread compounds formulated for regular passenger cars.

Provides maximum traction on the track. NT555R's are manufactured with the original tread depth of 6/32nds” and are constructed with a specially formulated soft racing tread compound to provide maximum traction. High block rigidity, soft compounding and large contact patch provide extreme dry traction in race conditions. Low void ratio and large tread blocks optimize dry traction.

Designed for competition drag racing. The Nitto NT555R is designed primarily for competition drag racing, but is also very popular and exceptional on road courses, track racing, and drifting.

5 Year Warranty. This Nitto Tire comes with a 5-year warranty from the date of purchase. Some limitations do apply. Please see the Full Nitto Warranty disclosure for details.

NOTE: These are DOT street drag radial and racing specific compound and tread tires. They are designed to be used on the drive wheels only of your car during the summer and warm temperature months. For track or drag use, we recommend that they be appropriately "warmed up" before each run.

WARNING: Use during winter months/cold temperatures will result in structural damage leading to catastrophic tire failure! For proper winter storage and care, please see this PDF file.

Free Mounting & Balancing: Professional mounting & balancing is available on all wheels and tires when purchased together on the same order, so you can just swap your wheels in your driveway when they arrive. We even offer Free Nitrogen tire fill (see option above).

Please allow an extra 1 to 2 business days on your wheel and tire package for mounting and balancing

Free Nitrogen Fill! AmericanMuscle is proud to bring you the option to fill your tires with pure nitrogen for FREE when we mount & balance your wheel and tire order. Filling your high performance tires with nitrogen has many benefits including:

Not Impressed

They have excellent grip on the drag strip, hook up nice as long as I remember to turn the traction control back on. However after 2 days at the track they are already down to the wear indicator. Definately going to look into an extreme high performance summer tire the next go around. If you can afford to put almost $600.00 into your tires every month then by all means these are the tires to buy.

I have 430rwhp and had previously ran 285/40/18 F1's on the rear. 1st thru 3rd was a handful now I have the nitto 555r DR's traction is not a big problem once the tires are heated up. The 305/40/18's really look good to.

i use these tires as my daily driver tires and also use them on the track. Hook up on the street is great and hook up on the track is awesome! shaved .7 off of my quarter mile time. Absolutely love these tires. so far they have been holding up well and i hope they continue to do so. i get a lot of compliments on them, and they look great too. they are expensive but definitely worth it.

I have put about 300 miles on these. They hook up on the street way better then stockers...With that said I don't expect them to last long but I got about 640hp and tq.....no point in having it if ya don't use it...so the increased traction makes it more manageable...

I have 350RWHP on my 2006 Mustang with 4:10 rear and can break these loose above 70 deg. The gear and tires were chaged at the same time. The 285/40 KDWs I had before broke loose with my 3.31 gears easiely. I now have 12,000 miles on them and looks like only 1-2K are left. $600 a year is well worth the 0.5 sec I picked up in the 0-60 and 1/4 mile and being able to floor it around turns.

My supercharged car has 425 rwhp. This tire really grips on the street well. So much better than my previous 285 BF Goodrich did. I do about 75 passes a year at my track. Having these tires is so much easier than swapping to DRs. The grip at the track is very good. Its not a bias ply tire so its not gonna dead hook but they stick very well. I do drive these in the rain and have get great wet traction. Lastly they look amazing, there is nothing like having some wide meats on the car.
